Photo Restoration - Preserving Your Old Photos
Photo restoration is a very
rewarding service that Sparkling Graphics provides
in the Comox Valley. Preserving history through restoration
is a skill that Linda has successfully acquired over time
and with lots of patience.
The degree of success in restoring a photo
is determined by how badly damaged the photo is. Colour depth
and scratches can be corrected butsignificant tears, water,fire,
or light damage may be more challenging but not impossible.
Linda will be able to determine if the photo can indeed be
restored to near satisfaction and will work with the original
colour, depth and look of the old antique photo.
Why would or should photos be restored? The
most common reason is the sentimental,
historical value to the owner of the photos, so they can be
preserved or archived on a CD or in a book orphoto album. Anybody
who dabbles in their family tree will be interested in preserving
old photos to pass down to the next generation. There is nothing
more appealing than a century old restored sepia-coloured framed
photo of your ancestors hanging on the wall in that special
room of your home.
Restorations start at $65.00
and up. Call for a free consultation to accurately access the
amount of time needed on each photo(s).
